R005 Le Tombeau de Couperin - Ravel, M.

**WINNER** - Best Flute Choir Arrangement  NFA Newly Published Music Competition 2025

Music from Ravel's masterful piano suite has been arranged for many different groups since its first publication in 1918, including his own spectacular reworking of 4 of the movements for orchestra in 1919. Here we have all 6 movements  of the original suite (including the gentle, meandering Fugue and the fiercely pianistic Toccata) set for advanced flute orchestra.  A challenging but hugely rewarding concert piece.

The set includes a set of parts and a full sized A3 score. (Extra parts can be ordered by email.) Please email for details of pdf delivery.
